Hemostatic agents are available as loose, granular substances that can be poured directly into a wound. Many of them resemble cat litter (which won't work). The loose substances are fine if you want to carry them separately. We recommend a bandage with the hemostatic agent infused into the bandage material.This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. Emergency tourniquets are used in emergency bleeding control to prevent severe blood loss from limb trauma. Traditionally, emergency tourniquets are generally used as a last resort, especially in civilian applications, due to the understanding that if all blood flow below the application of an emergency tourniquet is stopped, it would subsequently kill the tissue, leading to eventual loss of the limb below application. Before you fly a plane, you better know how it works. The same is true with an Israeli bandage. The more you understand this tool, the more effectively you will use it.

As with all treatments it is important to understand their roles, applications and the differences between them.Though the Israeli bandage probably isn't the first choice for a tourniquet, in a pinch, you can improvise the Israeli bandage to act as a tourniquet. Here's how to use the Israeli bandage to create tourniquet-like pressure: There’s also a new version of the OLAES called the ChitoGauze Pro that has chitosan hemostatic dressing inside — an agent that helps with blood clotting. Twist the rod until you can't twist it anymore - you should be reaching tourniquet-like pressure at this point. After World War II, the US military reduced use of the tourniquet because the time between application and reaching medical attention was so long that the damage from stopped circulation was worse than that from blood loss.
